Uma noite destas, vindo da cidade para o Engenho Novo, encontrei no trem da Central um rapaz aqui do bairro, que eu conhe\u00e7o de vista e de chap\u00e9u. Cumprimentou-me, sentou-se ao p\u00e9 de mim, falou da lua e dos ministros, e acabou recitando-me versos. A viagem era curta, e os versos pode ser que n\u00e3o fossem inteiramente maus. Sucedeu, por\u00e9m, que, como eu estava cansado, fechei os olhos tr\u00eas ou quatro vezes; tanto bastou para que ele interrompesse a leitura e metesse os versos no bolso.<\/p>

– Continue – disse eu acordando.<\/p>

– J\u00e1 acabei – murmurou ele.<\/p>

– S\u00e3o muito bonitos.<\/p>

Vi-lhe fazer um gesto para tir\u00e1-los outra vez do bolso, mas n\u00e3o passou do gesto; estava amuado. No dia seguinte entrou a dizer de mim nomes feios, e acabou alcunhando-me\u00a0Dom Casmurro<\/i>. Os vizinhos, que n\u00e3o gostam dos meus h\u00e1bitos reclusos e calados, deram curso \u00e0 alcunha, que afinal pegou. Nem por isso me zanguei. Contei a anedota aos amigos da cidade, e eles, por gra\u00e7a, chamam-me assim, alguns em bilhetes: “Dom Casmurro, domingo vou jantar com voc\u00ea”. – “Vou para\u00a0<\/a>Petr\u00f3polis, Dom Casmurro; a casa \u00e9 a mesma da\u00a0<\/a>Ren\u00e2nia; v\u00ea se deixas essa caverna do\u00a0<\/a>Engenho Novo, e vai l\u00e1 passar uns quinze dias comigo”. – “Meu caro Dom Casmurro, n\u00e3o cuide que o dispenso do teatro amanh\u00e3; venha e dormir\u00e1 aqui na cidade; dou-lhe camarote, dou-lhe ch\u00e1, dou-lhe cama; s\u00f3 n\u00e3o lhe dou mo\u00e7a”.<\/p>

N\u00e3o consultes dicion\u00e1rios.\u00a0Casmurro<\/i>\u00a0n\u00e3o est\u00e1 aqui no sentido que eles lhe d\u00e3o, mas no que lhe p\u00f4s o vulgo de homem calado e metido consigo.\u00a0Dom<\/i>\u00a0veio por ironia, para atribuir-me\u00a0<\/a>fumos de fidalgo. Tudo por estar cochilando! Tamb\u00e9m n\u00e3o achei melhor t\u00edtulo para a minha narra\u00e7\u00e3o; se n\u00e3o tiver outro daqui at\u00e9 ao fim do livro, vai este mesmo. O meu poeta do trem ficar\u00e1 sabendo que n\u00e3o lhe guardo rancor. E com pequeno esfor\u00e7o, sendo o t\u00edtulo seu, poder\u00e1 cuidar que a obra \u00e9 sua. H\u00e1 livros que apenas ter\u00e3o isso dos seus autores; alguns nem tanto.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One night not long ago, as I was coming from the city to Engenho Novo,\u00a0 on the Brazil Central, I ran into a young man from here in the neighbourhood, with whom I have a bowing acquaintance. He spoke, sat down beside me, talked of the moon and the Government, ended by reading me some verses. The trip was short, and the verses may not have been entirely bad. It happened, however, that as I was tired, I closed my eyes three or four times \u2014 it was enough to make him stop reading and put the verses in his pocket.\u00a0<\/p>

– \u201cGo on,” I said, rousing myself.\u00a0<\/p>

– \u201cI\u2019ve finished,\u201d he muttered.\u00a0<\/p>

– \u201cThey are very fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

I saw him make a gesture to take them out of his pocket again, but it did not pass beyond a gesture. He was offended. The next day he said some hard things about me and gave me the nickname Dorn Casmurro. The neighbours, who do not like my taciturn, recluse-like habits, took up the nick- name: it stuck. This did not make me angry. I told the story to my friends in the city, and they, in fun, call me by it and write to me: \u201cDom Casmurro, I am coming to have dinner with you on Sunday.\u201d \u201cI am going to my old place at Petropolis, Dom Casmurro. See if you can\u2019t tear yourself away from the cave in Engenho Novo and come spend a couple of weeks with me.\u201d \u201cMy dear Dom Casmurro, don\u2019t imagine that you are going to escape my theatre party to- morrow night. You can stay overnight in the city. I promise you a box at the theatre, tea , and a bed. The only thing I don\u2019t promise you is a girl.\u201d<\/p>

Don\u2019t consult your dictionaries. Casmurro is not used here in the meaning they give for it, but in the sense in which the man in the street uses it, of a morose, tight- lipped man withdrawn within himself. The Dorn was for irony: to impute to me aristocratic airs. All for dozing off! Well, I have found no better title for my narrative; if no better occurs, let it standi My poet of the train will know that I do not bear him a grudge. And, with a little effort, since the title is his, he will be able to decide that the work is his. There are books which owe no more to their authors; some, not so much.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
